How to get audio in imported files?

I'm trying to import a keynote file from iwork 09 into the ipad version.
the presentation has background audio (mp3) and everytime I try to import, the soundtrack is removed by the application.

Im using the new Keynote 1.2 for ipad and keynote 5.0.4(633) on OSX 10.6.4

Any idea what i am doing wrong?
Help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Paddy

iPad, Macbook, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Seems like I can only import audio for single slides and not for the main timeline of the presentation.
Is that true?

Sadly, this is all very painful...

I share your pain!!!

I spend five hours today designing, and constructing an awesome presentation in Keynote for iPad 1.2. I then brought it into the Mac version of Keynote '09. I then added a great soundtrack in the Mac version and tried to export/import it back into Keynote for the iPad 1.2 with exactly the same results - it ripped off the sound track.

I can't find a way from the Mac version of Keynote to "share" the presentation since I used custom slide and transition timing on the iPad version of Keynote and don't want to used "fixed" timing on each slide of the presentation.

Bottom line I want to produce a finished Keynote to play with sound on my iPad, or a finished video that looks just like the presentation on my Mac.

Any ideas?
